Ballyduff

[poppyo]

Hello. Ballyduff is in the Geashill townland so I wrote to a lovely priest Fr John Stapleton   office@killeigh.com  but that was Killeigh. I got the previous generation to ones I was looking for in Ballyduff
This website is good
http://www.catholicireland.net/parishes/findchurch.php
I wrote to them but got no information.
These places are all close together and it gets confusing
Best wishes

Thanks for replying so quickly. I am wanting to look at the parish records for my great x 3 Grandfather Patrick Fitzpatrick, who was born in Ballyduff, near Roscrea in 1828. He joined the British Army in 1848 and gave this info at the time. At the end of his service he moved to Leeds and settled. I also live in Leeds and want to make the trip over to the National Library in Dublin to search the Parish records to hopfully find out more, but have found it really difficult to establish the Parish so that I could check that they are available before flying over. I don't suppose you ever found out that info did you? Once I do make the trip I'll also like to see Ballyduff as well. The strange thing is, my Grandmother was born in Blackrock, Co Dublin in 1904 and moved back to Leeds a few years later.

Regards
Steve

Geashill would be the nearest Catholic cemetery and while thre are Flynn headstones there, none state Ballyduff as an address. Only one mention of a William Flynn

John Flynn (Ballantougher) 2/9/1966 (87)
Caroline (w) 21/4/1979
his brother, William  8/5/1963 (82)

Regards,

Hello Jack. John and William Flynn are my great uncles, my grandmother Bridget Sheerin's (nee Flynn), brothers.
 This is so interesting to me!
John and Caroline died in Ballintogher, William died in Gurteenkeel.
Is the cemetery just called 'Geashill Cemetery'?
Are the cemetery records anywhere?
Are any photographs available?
Any little bits of information about the other Flynns would be so much appreciated!
Thank you very much for answering
Barbara

I took photo's of all the Flynn headstones in Geashill cemetery, (I'll get the name of the church) and send them on.
If you could let me have you e-mail address I'll send them there.
Let me have you address at
